Question:
I have found whit papule pumps in my genitaland anus area. (My mother and sister had these when they were my age are the hereditary?) They look exactly like whiteheads nothing like cauliflower they just appeared in the past 2 weeks. I am so nervous about this. I go for a papsmear next week and saw my dr in march he didn't notice anything. Please help me ease my mind. I read the man's question about what he was expereincing and that is what I have been going through. I honestly don't think they arts I've been doing tons of research. Please let me know as soon as possible.

It is most likely that what you describe is papules. During a pap smear exam, your physician should notice if these bumps should be concerning, e.g., potential genital warts. If you have not already brought these bumps to a physician's attention, please do so. That's the best way of putting your mind to rest and confirming that you do not have an infection. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network. Yvonne K. Fulbright, MS.Ed.
